In this episode of the Catholic Link podcast. Fr. Rob and Fr. George to discuss the connection between our mental health and spirituality. Once again we have the tension to hold two seemingly conflicting things. As Catholics, we understand that the human person is a union of body and soul. We must have mental health to take care of body and spirituality to take care of our soul. These two are also connected. If we create habits that deteriorate our cognitive abilities, then our soul has a diminished intellect to operate with. We should approach mental health issues holistically, taking into account the whole person. This means that we factor in both bodily irregularities and spiritual factors. If someone’s brain is in excess or defect of a key chemical, then seeing a medical professional for help may be helpful. Dismissing the body for only the spiritual remedies is not a prudent way to approach it. Fr. Rob and Fr. George offer key insights into a right relationship between mental health and spirituality.
